Its improved a lot! Thats how I feel when editing mine. When I write, I dont think it could be any better then come back a week later and be like ‘who on earth wrote this?’😜
And that chapter…😭, But I love it, especially how theres so many emotions flowing through each scene. <3

@acancello GIRLLLLL, how’s editing going?? ❤️❤️
@freedomwriter76
Hey!! Thanks for asking💗 Its going alright! I’m about halfway done, but stuck on one scene now since I have to rewrite the whole thing. Just like we were talking about earlier, how much our writing changes 😂 I’m hoping to finish before February since that month is already looking pretty busy for me.
Hows writing your second novel going?
And good job again for getting so far with Freedoms Fire, that’s such a huge accomplishment!!

@acancello Yw!🩷🩷 Yes, I do feel that…I’ve had to do that before😅 *hugs* I understand, but pls don’t push yourself too hard; your mental health is very important, so I’d just encourage you to not stress too much about it <3
Tysm❤️❤️
It’s going well! I’m around 5,668 words right now and 46 pages and almost 4 whole chapters in (the chapters have been longer in this book, LOL!) This was the most recent finished part I wrote (still writing Riker’s half of the chapter👀)
Leon ducked his head low; he stooped into the small building. Wooden shelves decorated the walls; one shelf hung by only one metal bracket. Goods donned each shelf. Watches, mostly, along with a few pieces of candy and other small goods. A short wooden counter stood at the end of the building; mere lanterns lit the small room.
A short man with small spectacles, gray whiskers, and a receding hairline looked up at Leon; his gray-blue eyes filled with suspicion. “Can I help you, sir?”
“Yessir. I-I’m looking for some kind of job. I need to get some money for my kids-“
“You one of them immigrants trying to escape the Soviets, son? I’m not hiring anyone.”
Leon took in and released a deep breath. He needed to stay calm. For his kids, he had to stay collected. “No, sir. I’ve lived here for a long time.”
“Why weren’t you fighting and captured then, son? You on the run from the Allies like everyone else? Or…” the man’s eyes narrowed, “are you one of them blasted Juden that started this whole war?”
Started the war? The war started with Germany’s invasion of Poland. How would Jews like Leon be behind the war? He’d heard claims like it before…too many times. The Nazis blamed Jews for everything…absolutely everything and pretended to be victims themselves.
“You Juden think that just because that war is over you can get whatever the heck you want from the rest of us. Well, you can’t, you filthy pig, so get out of my shop before I call Henry to throw you out, you-“ The man went on a ramble, spewing choice words and names Leon wouldn’t dare repeat.
Leon’s fists clenched at his sides; his fingers ached with the force. Everything inside him ached to stand up for himself and others who had been incorrectly blamed for crimes they never committed. Everything in him told him to reveal to such a crude, impolite man what he’d been through. Everything in him wanted to fight and fight as hard and as long as he could, but he wouldn’t. He knew what would happen if he fought anyone, even when they deserved it.
So, he didn’t. For his kids, he didn’t fight. His fists clenched and his eyes blazing, Leon gave the man a curt nod. “Good day, sir. I won’t be back.”
“Good riddance, filthy Jude.”
Leon marched out of the store, letting the door slam behind him. Most of the town was gone…rubble and nothing more than that. He had to find a job, but he didn’t know if he ever would. The world around him was in shambles, and someone he once trusted did nothing about it. Was it all some kind of cruel joke? Did God think it was funny to watch him suffer? Had God just sat idly by on his throne, laughing whilst Leon Wagner, who once trusted him with his life, walked through hell on earth for months?
Leon roared and kicked a loose pebble aside. What did it matter to think about it? He knew the truth now. His eyes had been opened to reality and no longer saw childish fantasies.
How stupid of him to think that God cared enough to save him from his suffering. How stupid of him to think that God would have ever been willing to rescue him and Aadelheide. How stupid of him to believe in God in the first place.
Leon’s fists clenched with fury; Leon’s jaw tightened with resolve. He wouldn’t be foolish and childish anymore. He refused to believe in a God that abandoned him.
@freedomwriter76
Oh, thats sad😭 But Aaaah! Your descriptions!!😍 5k is really good!
I’m not pushing myself to hard, I tend to be very motivated 😂 (Says me who spends more time on Pintrest than editing) And so far I haven’t been stressed because I dont really have a deadline, I’d just like to get it done by then and if it dosent work out, Oh well, next month! 🙂 Thanks for thinking about me, it means a lot🥰 *hugs back*
